2. Reality & me
Friday, February 3, 14:00
'Reality & me' is dedicated to the openings and interspaces in reality. Common routines are being observed and through the subtle shifting of perspectives and frameworks of action, unexpected and unusual constellations are constructed from initially rather unspectacular everyday situations.
[01] Reality & me
Blue Hammer, Suzanne Caines (ca), 10:19 | Cinepolis, Ximena Cuevas (mx), 18:00 | Insert The Name Of The City Here, Yves Coussement (be), 9:00 | Oh so criminal, Keir Smith (au), 4:26 | Portrait with a curator, Azorro Group (pl), 7:35 | Proposal, Azorro Group (pl), 1:52 | Release of mineral water, Mai Yamashita/Naoto Kobayashi (jp), 6:24
**************************************************
3. Intercepting reality
Friday, February 3, 21:00
The 'reality addicts’ in this programme create their very own reality. They use elements of the common, agreed-upon reality so to maintain compatible points of transition with their own version of it. Dream worlds and desire worlds mingle ironically and humorously as well as in emotional and poetical ways.
[02] Intercepting reality
First Fleet Back, Jennifer Lyons-Reid/Carl Kuddel (au), 22:00 | I love you Jet Li, Stacy Hardy/Jaco Bouwer (za), 12:54 | Little Figures, Sarah Vanagt (be), 15:47 | Looking for Alfred, Johan Grimonprez (be), 10:00 | Specialized Technicians Required: Being Luis Porcar, Manuel Saiz (es/uk), 2:00
**************************************************
4. Ugly but trendy
Saturday, February 4, 21:00
Rio de Janeiros' funk music scene consists of many female MCs and girl groups, because their participation guarantees a success for the dance-hall business. 'I'm Ugly but I'm Trendy' by Denise Garcia introduces to Rio's funk universe - but from a female perspective: it shows the hard rapping women also off-stage in 'real' life, as mother, wife or student.
Berlin's migrant kids and their rage against a society considered as hostile shows 'Wedding 65' by Rozbeh Asmani. His protagonists reflect on their daily life between juvenile delinquency, unemployment and social engagement. Hip Hop and Break Dance suit their desire to express their own identity between parental origin and German reality.
[04] Ugly but trendy
Sou feia mas to na moda, Denise Garcia (br), 60:00 | Wedding 65, Roozbeh Asmani (de), 8:00
Denise Garcia presents her works also on February, 5th at 17 hrs in transmediale salon.

5. Solmaz Shahbazi
Tuesday, February 7, 18:00
Two documentaries by Iranian filmmaker Solmaz Shahbazi show the reality and the history of Tehran and the life of young people, focusing on central questions of today's situation in Iran. In 'Good Times, Bad Times' young Tehranians, born after the Islamic revolution 1978, about their hopes, sorrows and opinions on the relations between sexes, love and marriage, about religious issues and political reality. 'Tehran 1380' is a homage to uncontrolled growing metropolis in concrete and neon that does not seem to fit into any western expectation.

6. The making of
Sunday, February 5, 12:00
Seeing is believing. Out of all possible methods to examine creation the camera is regarded as the most truthful one. The documentary on approach and progress of neuroscience is also a film about vision and filmmaking. 'The making of' is based on the analogy of visual perception and filmmaking. The central question is: How creative is science and how objective is film?
[05] The making of
The making of, Viola Stephan (de/lu), 86:00

7. Imagine native
Monday, February 6, 17:00

Saturday, February 4, 12:00
[03] instant constructions
The works of the 'instant constructions' vary strongly in their appearance. The connecting element is the construction of a concentrated momentariness, from the closed structures of hectic found images to concentrated conspiracy theory and practice. Together they operate in the field of tension between the picture and what is being depicted; between appearance and reality.
Corrosion 3, Martin Pichlmair/Thomas Grill (at), 5:00 | Fear And Control, Tim Blake (uk), 38:37 | Future Garden Structure, Hilary Koob-Sassen (uk), 14:00
Sunday, February 5, 21:00
[06] Collateral surface
Here, 'collateral surfaces' are sideways-moving surfaces. Their narrative circle does not get broken up, but remains intact to make visible the underlying framework and the 'parallel intersections' even more clearly.
-./ [Nomination for transmediale award 2006], Andres Ramirez Gaviria (co/at), 6:10 | Automovil, Rolando Vargas/Catherine Cely (co) 3:51 | Human Trial, John Butler (uk), 4:40 | Luukkaankangas, Dariusz Krzeczek (pl), 8:00 | METRO: Paris - Hong Kong Underground, Thomas Wessel-Cessieux (fr), 4:00 | OnOff, Joao Ricardo/Hugo Olim (pt), 3:22 | radioint. 14/37, Lia (at), 2:00
Tuesday, February 7, 14:00
[08] Close distances
Distance and closeness; the distanced perspective upon the however immediate and its alleged contraries are here in the foreground. At the same time, this perspective becomes interwoven with the unaccountable serenity towards the inescapable - the bomb, which in a moment of fatalistic clarity, reconstructs the imbalance of power.
a.m./p.m., Herman Asselberghs (be), 45:00 | Enclosures, Nesrine Khodr (lb), 22:00
Tuesday, February 7, 16:00
[09] Grinding borders
The use of force in various ways is the focus of the artistic and documentary works in this programme. 'grinding borders' ranges from the abstraction of direct photographic documents to unfiltered aggression and the situative presence of still-smouldering relics of hardly settled conflicts. But at the same time almost poetic-seeming brief moments of repose emerge, in a most likely ,only temporary, lull.
A few crumbs for the birds, Nassim Amaouche (fr), 28:00 | Begin, Began, Begun, Sarah Vanagt (be), 38:00 | Centroamerica Now, Regina Aguilar (hn), 6:11 | Destrukt, Aline Helmke (de), 2:15
Tuesday, February 7, 20:00
[11] transmediale.06 video selection (preview)
